Rolling Out

The Elite Women rolled down the time trial start ramp today in Ponferrada, Spain, searching for a Rainbow Jersey at the end of their solo effort against the clock. Anna Solovey of Ukraine was out on a fast ride around the outskirts of the city before swinging back towards town. She was first at each of the time checks along the route and logged the fastest time across the line when she finished. However, with a time trial, no rider knows their ultimate placing until the final rider has finished her effort. All Solovey could do was sit in the throne in the club house waiting to see if she would be forced to give up her seat and her dream of the coveted Rainbow Jersey of Women's World Time Trial Champion.
